Master of Music: Computer Music Composition
The Composition Department of the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music is pleased to announce a new graduate degree program in Computer Music Composition.
Students with an undergraduate degree in Music Composition or Electronic/Computer Music (or equivalent) are encouraged to apply for this degree program. While substantial computer music training is not a prerequisite, admission to the degree program will require an undergraduate background in musical skills and acoustic and/or electronic composition. The degree provides a rigorous training in both musical and technical areas with a focus on composing.The MM degree may be taken concurrently or consecutively with the Masters degree in Composition, sharing the same core courses.To apply for admission at the graduate level, candidates must submit a portfolio of electronic and/or acoustic compositions (scores/tapes) plus a list of all compositions (applicants who wish their scores and tapes to be returned should enclose a self-addressed envelope of the necessary size with return postage). Those invited to interview should be prepared for a brief ear-training exam (identification of intervals, triads, etc.).
